Allow group creation whose filter parameter is another group

We have a large push for expedited rightsizing actions, but we have lots of unique workload types as expected of large corporations. App types can include clustered, HA, reverse SLO, and more. These complications disallow us from simply creating a...

Move enable/disable disruptive actions from Policy wide to action type

The option to enable/disable disruptive actions policy-wide is very restrictive. Most downscale actions are disruptive, but most upscale actions can be non-disruptive. In the current implementation, only a group of VM can be marked with this setti...

The metrics pods are erroring out because they cannot have a secret defined for them. This causes many errors. Need to turn them off OR add a secret.

The current metrics pods are used to gather data for the last 14 days so that Turbo instances can instantly give recommendations on being connected to a new target without having to wait 14 days. However in this particular client (and I'm sure oth...

Plan improvements: Downloading all plan results

Turbonomic planning allows us to simulate scenarios to migrate workloads to different clusters to simulate how workloads could be supported on different node sizes. This is a workaround to having Turbo recommend what vertical size node would be be...

When a script is part of a resize policy the vCPU & vMEM actions are executed together.

Execution of pending actions are completed immediately instead of backing off or executing separately extending the change window. Fewer number of reboots to complete pending actions including vMEM, vCPU, socket matching compliance. Script complet...

NewRelic Alerts suppression when PMC stop virtual machines

We have configured virtual machines with NewRelic alerts and integrated with SNOW. So whenever the VM powered off, a NewRelic alert will be triggered and a SNOW incident also created. So we want PMC talk to NewRelic to suppress the alerts before P...

NameSpace, Node Label Group Tag & AppCat Tags: Reports

Need to have Tag columns in the NameSpace widget view and downloaded spreadsheet view to be able to sort capacity by Node Label Group tag & by AppCat tag. Otherwise this is a tedious process to show the total AppCat's NameSpace Usage by Node L...

Manage Move Automation on a non-VM level

Turbo WPA (Workloads Place Automation) is a competitor to VMware's DRS capabilities. Considering most customers ofTurbo are virtualized with VMware, we/they need a way to handle WPA on a cluster level, instead of having to create a group of VMs ba...
